    Excellent info Matt! I most especially appreciated the “buzz” tips!

    Matt, you might want to add chapters to this video...CZcams does it automatically if it is created in the description. As long as you start the list with 00:00, it will index future time stamps
    00:00 Introduction
    00:31 #1 Lifting a Finger
    And so on...the use of chapters is really helpful...and a good use of the time it takes to create the index.
    Thanks for all you are doing-I’m a subscriber to the magazine (in the US) via the Apple subscription.

      Good point - I have a top ten video in the making I'd planned to do that with. It didn't occur to me with this one as it's from last year and I posted it on a whim because of new lockdown measures. I will add them.

      @@WorldofUkes Just a suggestion, of course...but I'm always looking for ways to make valuable videos even more useful. I bugged Katie DeNure about it (One Music School...ukulele teacher in the US) and she's putting in the chapters now...and Barry started doing so, too (I didn't big him about it). Keep up the all around amazing work. I don't know how you find time for it all.

    Such valuable tips Matt. I’m determined to come through this Lockdown period having progressed, having been stuck in a rut for all too long. There’s no excuse now! Thanks for the inspiration.

      I've been in a real rut myself, regressing if anything! For the first time for a long time tonight though, my fingers are sore from playing, so perhaps I've turned the corner. Good luck!

    You are an amazing strummer! Amazing ukulele player. And SERIOUSLY all Ukulele CZcams People have cool t shirts.. I must be the only Ukulele Guy on youtube WITHOUT a cool t shirt... Amazing.. I avoid them like the plague as I do not get the reasoning that a t shirt costs more than a pair of jeans xD

    I had a buzz on one of my strings over part of the fingerboard. I worried it might be a fret problem, I changed the strings, all to no avail. Never thought of tightening the screw on the tuner button. Problem solved!

      @WorldofUkes  Před 3 lety

      Oh that's great! It's always an easy fix, yet always the last thing I think of for reason!
